As you can see, it still needs a couple of bricks.

I like this so far.  The grip towards the front is very cool.  I also like the
trigger and handle.  I'm not so sure about the end barrel.  Maybe it's just

I have spent the last few months trying my hand at lego sculptures. I knew I couldn't match some of the works I have seen here, but I felt I had to at least give it a try. My only problem was the subject. Being a huge fan of Warhammer 40k, I decided (...) (22 years ago, 8-Feb-03, to lugnet.build.sculpture)
